Ihees" and the other "Red." Jf
i set many more fellows we'll
ve to puah out the sides of the

ts. The Cubmasler wants me to
I you two things. First—that he
juld like every cub to be present
church on Sunday night and not
ly to be there himself but insist
his father and mother, his sisters
d brothers, his aunts and uncles,
s cousins and grandparents. Some
the people think we're just kids
d don't amount to much. Well,
's show them what kids can do.
e showed some of them at the
nquet, here's another good chance
> mustn't let go by. Second —-that
! wants you to remind your father
at this is the night he Is wanted
the church at 8.30. Be sure to
II him that he can leave his pocket
ok at home as this is just a little
t together meeting for the fathers
Troop 16 and Pack Two that has
own out of the get-together spirit
own at the banquet. We need the
vice nnd counsel of our fathers,
e are growing rapidly and we hate
ts of things to talk over.
Be on time tonight because our
eeting and the Scout meeting must
squeezed into two hours. Don't
rget to wear your cap. That for
e time being Is our uniform ton
t an extra point for that.

THE WIGWAM
Batteries for to-day! Fenste
macher and Hagar!
Fellows don't you like to hear the
just before the bell rings for the
start of the game. 1 know that the
same feeling runs down your spine
when you pick up a book and find
that it is your favorite author.
The Wigwam presents an oppor
tunity each week for the meeting
of Scout authors. Every fellow
has a chance to express ids feeling
us a Scout or tell a good live story.
To date this opportunity has been
seized by only three Scouts:
Spotz, of Troop eight, and Fenste
macher and Hagar of Troop thir
teen. Their work hus been read
with interest and we believe that
they will continue to be regular
visitors in the Wigwam. Remember
fellows the door stands open to all.
Come in. Be co-workers with such
fellows as those whose names we
have just mentioned and some day
some Scout will read with interest:
that you are one of the batteries for
the day. ' m
RED CLOUD
THE NEED THE CALL THE
OPPORTUNITY OF SCOUTING
(By Scribe Fenslemacher)
A scout enjoys a hike through
the woods more than he does a walk
over the city's street. He can tell
North, East South and West. He
can tie a knot that will hold. He
can swim a river pilch a tent and
mend a tear "in his trousers. He
walks through the woods with silent
tread. No dry twigs snap under
his feet. His eyes are keen and
he sees many things that others do
not see. A scout does, not shout
his wisdom from the housetops.
He .possesses the quiet power that
comes from knowledge. A Scout
holds his honor to he his most
precious possession and he would
rather die than have it stained.
A scout can kindle a fire in the
forest and seldom uses more than
one match. He practices self-con
trol and never flinches in the face
of danger. He knows what to do
in case of fire. He keeps himself clean
and does not practice bad habits.
A scout makes himself a brother
to another scout in trouble or not.
WHAT THEY'RE DOING
During tHe disastrous autumn
fires in the woods of northern |
.Minnesota and Wisconsin the !
Boy Scouts did much valuable t
service in fighting fire, assisting ;
refugees and the injured, and
in locating the missing.
Wilson McNair, a Boy Scout
of Lewisburg, W. Va., rescued an ;
8-year-old boy from in front of !
a passenger train.
Scout ' Phillip Faucette from
Troop No. 40, of Memphis, was
asked by a frantic father to res
cue his baby who was in a burn
ing house. At great personal risk
the scout entered the building i
and succeeded in saving the |
child.
During a recent hike on Staten ,
Island the Scouts of Bayonne, I
N. J., discovered a forest fire
about a quarter of a mile from
the road. The whistle sounded
for action and every scout was j
In a few minutes busy fighting j
the fire, which they soon extin- !
guished.
Reading, Pa., Boy Scouts re- j
moved dead trees from sidewalks'
for fuel in church.
The Boy Scouts at Bridgeport, |
111., worked on the municipal !
wood pile, cutting, sawing and I
splitting wood for the city poor. I
A troop of Boy Scouts in Ard- |
more, Pa., hunted for a man that j
wandered away front home and |
found him after a search of i
about 36 hours.
A busy troop is the one headed j
by Scoutmaster Willard North
rup in New York City. These \
boy scouts worked after school I
and Saturdays for the Patriotic
Service League; gathered over
TOO books for the soldiers and ;
sailors; took part in local block
parties and national war work !
such as parades, etc., loaned one |
of their tents to the police re- 1
serves, and built a Kaiser's coffin |
to get money for the war work. '
The Boy Scout Movement Is '
proving very popular in Mexico |
City alone itnd throughout the l
republic there are also groups j
numbering In all several thou
sands of members. They have I
adopted the name of "Mexican |
Explorers," and are enthusiastic
in all branches of the service.
During a fire at Petaluna, Call- '
fornia, the crowds greatly hind- ,
ered the firemen until the Boy .
Scouts began guarding the fire
lines. Steps have been taken to I
have scouts guard the hose lines
ut every fire hereafter.
I He is kind to every animal and does
| his good turn regularly every day. i
A scout is a patriot and is ready to
| serve his country at a minutes no-j
|tice. He loves Old Glory and hon-!
: 1 ors it.
Thus is the Need the Call and j
j the Opportunity of Scouting.

Troop 1, Camp Hill Is
Very Much Alive;
I On account of a Troop meeting and |
j play practice on fhe night of the!
Father and Son banquet only three \
of the members of Troop 1, Camp!
I Hill attended it. Patterson, the
) brother of the Office Scout says the
I banquet was scrumptious, and Eddie
: Hamme says that the fellows who
| didn't get there sure did miss some
' thing. Although these fellows were)
! few in number they were not
j lonesome in the least as Brooke of
! Troop 8 and Mentzer of Troop 20
■ who both live in Camp Hill were
' present.
Our first play practice was held
! at the home of Scoutmaster Ketch
! ledge. The date for the presenta
j tion of our play has not been decided
j on yet but the play is sure to be
i given during the last week of March.
The Beaver Patrol having an
j average of 13314 points per Scout
| for the month of January, received
1 their prize Friday evening. Al
| though the Beavers had the highest
< average, the Eagle Patrol has the
j honor of having the Scout with the
j highest number individual points.
! He is Scout Freese and holds 163
| points. Plans for next summer's
! camping are already being made.
We intend to go to'the Community
1 <""anip which Executive Virgin an-
I nounced Monday evening would be
along the Yellow Breeches creek,
I near Bowmansdale. Quite a few ofj
our troop could lead a stranger to;
j the precise place as they already
; know a book-easeful about the sur
j rounding country.
1 The Troop has about four new ean-j
didates who desire to enter, some!
! of whom will be taken in at the;
; next business meeting. Ass't Scout- 1
j master Nell informed some of us
I scouts that uniforms had taken a!
I fall in price and of course we were j
| all glad to know that. Nell lias been;
j honorably discharged from the army 1
and now he holds inspections and!
sure is some inspeclor. We Scouts!
! from across the river surely wish
1 that spring would come as we all
vearn to go on a "Weinle Roast" to
Alleman's Hollow.
